Jersey City Men Tired of Living
Without Money Coming In.

JERSEY CITY, Feb. 21.-At the Erie
depot in Jersey City this morning seven
ty-five of the striking freight handlers
were taken back. They fill the places of
the Italians who struck for higher wages
Saturday and were discharged Saturday
night.
About forty of the striking longshore-
men who were employed at the Wilson
steamships docks IN HOboken returned to
work this morning on the old terms.
Many others Of the strikers have applied
to the companies to be,reinstated, but the
officers have refused to discharge new
men to make places for them. Among
the number the Erie Company refused en-
ployment to-day to over 200. The Della
ware and Hudson Canal Company at
Weehawken was besieged to-day by
large crowd of striking coal handlers,
VINO clamored to be taken back. There
was also a large crowd of strikers at the
coal yards OF the Delaware, Lackawanna

receive a few of these men back, but only
the most desirable of them.

A VANDERBILT ROMANCE.
The Elopement of a Distant Rela
tive of the Family.

Inc EIODeInenC Oh DISbduC heIa-
tive of the Family.
DOVER, N. j., Feb. 19.-The little min
ing community at Denma ark, hamlet OF
Morris county, was thrown into state of
excitement to-day by the leaking
out of the fact that Miss Celia
Scribner, daughter OF George
Scribner. of Denmark, and young
William Ii. Vanderbilt had been secretly
married at Butler, just a week ago. The
groom reached the age OF 10 last October
and his bride is lust IA. Young Wander
bilt is a grandson of John Vanderbilt, a
second cousin of William II. Vanderbilt,
who has resided IN this region many
years. Scribner, the BRIDES father, is a
miner in the Hibernia mine and has his
home in Denmark, where Celia was
brought up.
The parents knew nothing of the grow
ing affection of their children, though it
Is not of short duration. Celia and vii.
liam used to play together and hunt .ber-
ries in the mountains that shut in the little
hamlet. Their parents are hard working
people and have little time to look after
the young people. Recently William
Vanderbilt, who is large Tor his age, has
been at work on the new Morris county
railroad aud only visited his home occa-
sionaily. At these times, how
ever, he managed to see Celia,
and the affection between them
increased. Saturday, week ago,
Vanderbilt came down to the village
with a horse aud buggy, and, meeting
Celia by appointment, carried her off to
Butler. about fifteen miles away. There
they found a minister and were married.
Both gave ages that were in excess OF
their own, and there was no apparent
reason why they should not be made man
and wife. They then returned to an
isolated cottage, not much more than a
hut, near Denmark, and began keeping
house. Their parents soon found them
out. They were angry at first, but, with
time, have become more reconciled to the
union.
The girl Is pretty. She has light hair
and eyes, and is of 1.-the figure. Old Jonn
Vanderbilt, the grandfather, welcomed
the young lady to his family. He is now
so years old and lives with his son, An
thony G. Vanderbilt, the father OF the
runaway groom. The family live like
hermits at the foot OF the Blue mounlain,
where for years John Vanderbilt
had earned a living by little
work in the mines and more at
fishing in the ponds and streams near
by. Once, il is said, he visited his second
cousin in New York and was given S75
and suit Of clothes by the millionaire.
He Is said to resemble IN face and figure
Commodore Vanderbilt. The young
couple is spending the honeymoon in the
lonely cottage IN the hills, but 1T is said
the Vanderbilts have asked them to come
to old Johns home, where the young bride
can help in taking care OF him.

Formation of a Chamber of Com
merce.
BRUNSWICK, Feb. 21.-The initial steps
for forming Chamber OF Commerce were
taken on Friday evening at a meeting
f, held in the court room. A. A. Gaddis,
ESQ.,, Vice President Of the Brunswick
and Western railroad, was called to the
chair, and W. +. Penniman acted as Sec
Rotary pro TEN. The objects of the meeting
were discussed and articles OF eonstitu-
ton adopted. The election Of officers will
be held on the first Tuesday in March.
About forty members were enrolled.
Editor Morning Netcs: In establishing
a Chamber of Commerce at Brunswick a
move has been made in the right direction
and will, if properly worked, be OF much
benefit to us as merchants. The expert
nnce of other cities proves that organiZa-
tions OF this kind are far more powerful
in securing privileges, maintaining CON-
mercial rights and preventing abuses,
than individual effort, however influen-
tial. The main point to be watched in
the fi&t instance is the selection of an ex-
ecutive body that Will not be biased by
outside pressure, but that Is free to act
entirely for those whose, interests they
are selected to watch and protect.
Hswick has had room to complain
loudly of the way its freights has been
transported, both by rail and water, and it
Is to be hoped that the new Chamber will
have a watchful eye to that matter.
